After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 583
Hearing Melanie's words, Riley’s expression softened slightly. He sighed and said, "Alright, you go ahead and have someone bring Sophia back.""Understood," Melanie replied, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes as she stood up and left the room.Sasha also rose and followed her mother out of the villa. As they stepped into the dark night, Melanie took Sasha’s hand, her face filled with relief. "Sasha, my dear daughter, you’ve finally helped me get rid of this major threat."Sasha smiled faintly. "She brought this on herself. How can it be my fault?"Melanie nodded approvingly and then asked, "But are you sure they won’t trace this back to you?"Sasha shook her head confidently. "Don’t worry, Mom. They won’t find anything. I’ve already sent those people out of the country. Once they’re abroad, there’s no way they can be found."Melanie nodded again, clearly pleased. "Well done. You should also try to get closer to Aveline. It’s clear Lucas is very fond of her. If we maintain a

Aveline struggled fiercely, but Lucas' arms were like iron clamps, holding her tightly, leaving her no room to break free."Let go of me, Lucas, let go of me!"Her voice was hoarse, her eyes reddening, and her entire body trembled in his embrace. Lucas only held her tighter. "Never, Aveline. I will never let you go in this lifetime. I’ll hold you like this until you’re willing to accept me again."His warm breath brushed against her neck, and tears blurred her vision. His scent was one she knew so well, one she had once depended on deeply—it was etched into her very soul, impossible to forget.At this moment, being held by him eased some of the fear in her heart, though she hated herself for feeling this way.He had been so cruel, so why did she still feel so attached to him?Her emotions gradually settled. She closed her eyes, her voice now raspier, "I'm fine now. Let go of me."Lucas slightly loosened his hold, creating some distance between them, but didn’t immediately release her.

Lucas watched her, a touch of helplessness flickering across his handsome face. Instead of heading to the guest room, he sat down on the living room sofa, lighting a cigarette. The sharp click of the lighter echoed loudly in the quiet room.Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was his bodyguard calling. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Winter has been taken back by her family.""Alright," Lucas replied indifferently, not giving the matter much thought.His mind was entirely occupied with figuring out how to get Aveline to forgive him and take him back....The next day.News of Sophia being kicked out of the Winter family indeed made the headlines.Aveline lay in bed, reading the news with a blank expression. After a moment, she got up, washed up, and opened her bedroom door. She immediately saw Lucas, wearing an apron, walking out of the kitchen and placing a plate on the dining table."You're up? Perfect timing, breakfast is ready."Aveline walked over, glancing at the simple

Seeing the light in her eyes suddenly dim, Lucas' expression grew a bit tense. Why was it so painful for her to be with him?The atmosphere between them grew even colder.“Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s go,” Lucas said in a low voice, turning to open the door.Aveline quietly followed him, not bothering to think about where they were going or what they were going to do.The weather was pleasant, and as Lucas rolled down the car windows, the cool autumn breeze swept in, easing a bit of the tension in Aveline’s heart—but only just a little.However, when Lucas stopped the car at the base of a mountain, confusion flickered across Aveline's face."Why did you bring me here?"She stepped out of the car, looking at the golden-hued mountain with a puzzled expression.Lucas glanced at her coolly. "I thought you didn’t care?"Aveline pressed her lips together, staying silent.His tone softened slightly. "We’re going hiking."Aveline was speechless.She looked at him in shock, then glanc

Lucas arched a brow slightly, surprised that she had caught up. His pace remained steady, unlike Aveline, who was breathing heavily, her face flushed. His even breathing highlighted the benefits of regular exercise—hiking was hardly a challenge for him.Aveline ignored his gaze and kept moving forward, occasionally glancing around. The higher they climbed, the more varied the scenery became. She pulled out her phone and started capturing the beautiful views she encountered, sending them directly to Selena.“I think we should go hiking together sometime.”Selena called right away, her voice laced with surprise, "Sweetheart, is the world upside down? You’ve never been into outdoor activities, and now you’re hiking?"As Aveline continued upward, she replied, "Yes, I never noticed before, but now I see it. I'll make an effort to get out more."Selena chuckled softly, “That's good to hear. You really do need to get out more. Otherwise, stress will keep piling up when you just focus on worki

Aveline didn’t want to engage with him, so she quickened her pace. But catching up with her was effortless for Lucas.He maintained a two-step distance behind her. "Aveline, are you going to invite me or not, hmm?"Aveline replied curtly, "No."Lucas sighed dramatically. "You’re really heartless, aren’t you? I brought you hiking and showed you beautiful scenery, but you won’t even invite me over for dinner.”Aveline was speechless."And," Lucas continued his relentless chatter, "I even stayed with you all night, got up early to make you breakfast, and you just eat and forget all about me. I never imagined you could be this kind of woman."His constant complaints from behind began to wear on Aveline’s nerves. But then she realized that no matter what she said, he would ignore it and keep doing whatever he wanted. So why should she care?With that thought, Aveline’s mood instantly calmed. No matter how much Lucas rambled, her expression remained unchanged.Since it wasn’t the weekend, th

"Don't move."Lucas held her tightly. "Aveline, right now, I just want to hold you."Aveline rolled her eyes dramatically, but after hiking all the way up, she didn’t have much energy left to struggle. Her face rested against his chest as she gazed at the scenery beyond the mountain, her breathing gradually calming.She unintentionally became aware of his heartbeat, which was growing faster and louder, as if it might burst from his chest.Aveline’s lashes fluttered slightly. "Lucas, are you having a heart attack?"Lucas tightened his arms around her briefly, then suddenly released her. "Aveline, I want to kiss you."She instantly pushed him away. "Don’t even think about it."Lucas’ narrow eyes locked onto her lips, a clear intent in his gaze.Aveline quickly covered her mouth, looking at him with a wary expression.A faint smile curved Lucas' lips. "Do you really think covering your mouth will stop me? If I want to, you won’t be able to escape."Aveline rolled her eyes again and turned

Aveline immediately hung up the call.Lucas glanced at her and asked, "Why didn’t you answer?"Aveline responded curtly, "That’s none of your business."Lucas chuckled, clearly amused, as if he hadn’t expected this rebellious side of her.Aveline kept her gaze out the window, but inside, she was tense.Then Lucas spoke again, "Afraid to answer? Worried I might find out? Who was it, Russell?"Aveline frowned and turned to him. "Lucas, do you ever stop?"His eyes locked onto hers. "Then why didn’t you take the call?"Aveline closed her eyes briefly, exhaling a heavy sigh before calmly replying, "Lucas, I don’t feel like I need to report every little thing I do to you. You mean nothing to me."Lucas crossed his arms and leaned back, his handsome, sharp features becoming even colder and more distant. His eyes regarded her with a cool indifference."And so what? Do you think I care about what place I hold in your heart or if I have any status at all?"Aveline was momentarily stunned. "If yo

Lucas responded in a calm, low voice, “You won’t get that chance in this lifetime.”Selena huffed. “You better hope so!”She lifted her chin defiantly and then playfully winked at Aveline. Aveline smiled softly, a hint of exasperation in her eyes. When would these two ever stop bickering?Once they arrived at the mall, Selena dragged Aveline into a whirlwind shopping spree. Whatever caught their eye, they bought—no hesitation, no restraint. It felt exhilarating to indulge so freely!Lucas followed quietly behind them, occasionally making a few phone calls and handling work without missing a beat.After shopping all morning, the group started to feel tired. Selena led Aveline into a restaurant across the street.“I read reviews on this place, and they say the food is amazing. They’ve got some dishes from Cloudflare City too. It’s been a while since you’ve been back—want a taste of home?” Selena asked, grinning while flipping through the menu.Aveline nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been craving it

Daisy’s expression darkened slightly at Jolie’s words, but she held back from lashing out. “That’s all in the past. What’s the point of bringing it up now? You and Selena are sisters, after all. You should reach out to her more. Convince her to come back. She’s still part of the Quin family.”In recent years, both her parents, especially her father, had become fixated on reconnecting with Selena. Despite multiple attempts, Selena had kept her distance, and even after finally making contact, she barely exchanged a few words with them before cutting off all communication again. The more they tried, the further she drifted away.Jolie remained quiet, observing Daisy. She had no right to criticize her mother—after all, it was she who had always been favored growing up. The Quin family had never done anything wrong by her.“I understand. I’ll try,” Jolie finally relented, though the thought of facing Selena’s distant and prickly demeanor again made her uneasy. Perhaps, deep down, her sist

“Got something on your mind, Dad?” Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried’s serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.Wilfried didn’t waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don’t have any specific plans."At this, Wilfried’s expression darkened even further. "That won’t do. You’ve taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I’ll have someone look into that girl’s background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we’ll go make the proposal immediately."Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I’m willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn’t want to marry me?"Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over

“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll talk to your brother and see what he thinks,” Wilfried said thoughtfully.Aveline nodded and went on her way....In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. “Brother, why didn’t you let me finish? I was about to spill the best part.”Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. “Take a look at this. If everything’s in order, you’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”“What’s this?” Gernard blinked, taking the file and flipping it open. His eyes widened as he scanned the pages.He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. “Wait, you’re serious? You’re actually sending me to South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?”Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. “Recently.”Gernard’s face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, “No way. I’m not going.”Gavin’s gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. “You don’t hav

“What gossip?” Aveline's interest was instantly piqued, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gernard.Gernard leaned in conspiratorially, about to spill the juicy details. “It’s about Brother. You won’t believe what happened today…”“Ahem!”Before he could finish, Gavin appeared, clearing his throat just loud enough to interrupt. He grabbed Gernard’s arm, pulling him away. “Let’s talk about the company,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Gernard protested, “Brother, wait, I wasn’t finished!”Aveline, her curiosity fully ignited, took a couple of steps forward. “Hey bros, don’t leave me hanging! Finish the story first!”Without slowing down, Gavin replied, “He’s headed to South Africa soon. Work comes first.”“South Africa?” Gernard’s jaw dropped. “Wait, since when am I going to South Africa? I didn’t hear about this! What’s going on?”Aveline stopped in her tracks, equally puzzled. “South Africa? Does the Cooper family even have projects there?”Just then, Wilfried walked

"Got too much free time on your hands?" Gavin’s cold gaze fixed on Gernard.Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what’s your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what? Turns out they’re Selena’s birth family. She left them ages ago to make it on her own, but the girl you were with? That’s Jolie Quin, the pampered princess of the family."With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn’t help but notice—Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you…?""Get lost," Gavin cut him off, not in the mood for Gernard’s teasing. He brushed past him, heading downstairs.Of course, that only fueled Gernard’s enthusiasm. "Hey, don’t walk away! I haven’t finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration....Aveline noticed Selena seemed a bit distracted and asked,

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro

As the effects of the drug finally began to fade, Jolie lay exhausted on the bed, her body drenched in sweat. Her skin, especially across her delicate shoulder blades, bore faint marks from their encounter and her breath ragged as it brushed against her own back. Her vision was hazy, and she barely had the strength to speak."I... I’m fine now... you can stop," she murmured, her voice weak and broken from the strain of what had just happened.The madness of moments before still pulsed through her, the aftershocks of it lingering in her body. She never expected that grabbing a random man for help would lead to this, nor did she expect him to have such relentless stamina.Yet, the man behind her didn’t stop. He didn’t respond either. His large hands remained firmly gripped around her slender waist as if he were trying to squeeze the very breath from her."Stop... I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?" Jolie’s anxiety spiked as he continued. What was wrong with him? They’d agreed he was
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1039
Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.Behind him, Jolie’s soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she’d pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.Where was Selena? She was supposed to be finding help, but she still hadn’t returned.His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave."Please… help me…"Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn’t used to feeling. "Please… I’ll pay you… I won’t take it for free…" Jolie’s voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bear
